Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a new Collection titled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Biomimetic Design, Constructions and Devices in Times of Change 2025”, which will collect papers invited by the Editorial Board Members.
The aim of this Collection is to provide a venue for networking and communication between the Biomimetics journal and scholars in the field of biomimetic design, constructions, devices, and operations. All papers will be published in open access following peer review. Since we currently live in a time of multiple crises (species extinction, climate change, pandemic, conflicts, social issues, energy supply problems, etc.), we suggest addressing the topic of the SI along the lines of grand challenges, and of inspiration and solutions in times of crises.
In addition, the journal welcomes contributions from the natural sciences, as well as thinkers from the humanities.
Dr. Ille C. Gebeshuber
